LucidQueryAbout LucidQuery
LucidQuery is an advanced AI platform pushing toward general intelligence through hybrid multimodal capabilities that seamlessly integrate reasoning, web search, coding, and geolocation intelligence. Key features include multimodal reasoning across text, images, audio, video, code, and structured data for deep contextual understanding, precision geolocation intelligence with spatial analysis and map-based entity search, advanced coding AI for programming problem-solving and automation, real-time web search integration for up-to-date evidence-based responses, and explainable structured outputs combining logical reasoning with generative capabilities.
The platform provides API access enabling developers to build sophisticated applications requiring multi-format data processing and real-world spatial context, designed for use cases spanning financial modeling, geographic analysis, research, and complex workflow automation.
Step by step guide to use LucidQuery API Key to chat with AI
I. Get Your LucidQuery API Key
First, you'll need to obtain an API key from LucidQuery. This key allows you to access their AI models directly and pay only for what you use.
- Visit LucidQuery's API console
- Sign up or log in to your account
- Navigate to the API keys section
- Generate a new API key (copy it immediately as some providers only show it once)
- Save your API key in a secure password manager or encrypted note
Sometimes, this provider will require you to add a payment method to your account before you can use your API key to chat with AI. So, to avoid any hiccups, make sure you've got a payment method set up and ready to go!
Important: Keep your API key secure and never share it publicly. Store it safely as you'll need it to connect with TypingMind.
II. Connect Your LucidQuery API Key on TypingMind
Once you have your LucidQuery API key, connecting it to TypingMind to chat with AI is straightforward:
Open the Models page
Open TypingMind, click "Models" in the left sidebar, then click "Add custom model" in the top right corner.
Enter the model details
Keep "Create Manually" selected and fill in the model details:
Name:lucidnova-rf1-100b via LucidQuery(or your preferred name)Model ID:lucidnova-rf1-100bfor example (check LucidQuery model list)Context Length: Enter the model's context window (e.g., 120000 for lucidnova-rf1-100b)
Set up authentication
In the "Authentication" tab, set the connection details:
API Type:OpenAI Chat Completions APIEndpoint URL:https://lucidquery.com/api/v1/chat/completionsAuthentication Type:API Key via HTTP HeaderHeader Key:AuthorizationHeader Value:Bearer <LUCIDQUERY_API_KEY>
Add pricing (optional)
Open the "Pricing" tab and enter the model's input, output, and cache prices per 1M tokens so TypingMind can estimate your usage costs.
Check the capabilities
In the "Capabilities" tab, keep "Auto check capabilities on save" on so TypingMind detects supported features like plugins, image input, and thinking, or enable them manually.
Test and save
Click "Test & Save" to verify the connection and add the model.
